Erector spinae plane block and brachial plexus
We read with interest the work by Bonvicini et al. [1] regarding bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks in breast cancer and reconstruction surgery. It is interesting to learn about novel way to provide analgesia in a surgery with an estimated chronic post-operative pain between 25% and 60% [2]. ESP is a novel block developed by Forero [3] to treat severe neuropathic pain (in a case resulting from metastatic disease of the ribs, and in another one from malunion of multiple rib fractures).
